The Idea is to forward deploy with Incursors, Librarian, Warsuit and Eliminators and then push middle with Captain, Bladeguard Vets and Judiciar. Lieutenant has Storm Shield to keep him alive when he supports Dreadnoughts with Seal of Oath.

I really like the Gladiator Valiant. I would want a pair of them, but you are already running a pair of Redemptors which as you know are perfect for Ultramarines.

Are you playing GT missions, Tempest of War, or other?

In any context, I fight enough UM to know that I'd be happy to see 3 bladeguard. 5 would be incredibly dangerous. If I was only running 3, I'd want an apothecary. Small details, probably not important.

Recently I've been playing new Nephilim missions with friends.

As for the 5 man blade vets squad, I wanted to see how much I can get out of them, made some list changes and sacrificed forward deployment for that sweet bladeguard strike.
In the new build:
-I swapped Phobos Librarian for Primaris version with Might of Heroes and Null Zone.
-got rid of Eliminators and Warsuit in favour of 5 man Bladeguard Squad and Primaris Apothecary
-Upgraded Captain to Chapter Master
And with the spare points I replaced Incursors with Infiltrators

I think those are solid changes. In the context of Nephilim I think those adjustments are dangerous but also the list is very fast to play in gt missions, letting you really focus on faster turns and paying attention to Secondaries.
